Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 12:29, October 1, 2007
, 12:29, October 1, 2007→New #1 - WP's CP entry: Do I sound bitter?
::If I've added "bias" to an article, please give the article name and expose the "bias" you allege that I added. Otherwise, I must assume you are simply making a personal attack for ideological reasons (as liberals habitually do). Ironically, liberals (when caught doing this) will then generally add insult to injury by claiming conservatives do what liberals actually do: again, without supplying actual examples. The term Democrats invented for this, the "politics of personal destruction", applies splendidly (or abysmally?) to liberals. I wish liberals would return to the roots of [[liberal education]] and use evidence and reason to make arguments, instead of groundless jabs. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:54, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

:::That's why I specifically wrote "edited and often tried to", Ed. Is it a conservative trait to always assume the worst when somebody simply disagrees? Please point out where I said "Ed Poor tried to add bias". Should we go into deeper semantics now? Is endless nitpicking about semantics conservative style?
:::Here, I'll show you what caused my remark about bias:
:::*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Joaqu%C3%ADn_Mart%C3%ADnez User talk:Joaquín Martínez] - ohhh, look at the numerous blocks!
:::*[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conservapedia&diff=prev&oldid=160678404 Openly pushing for 3RR]
:::**"This is to prevent liberal trolls from manipulating the valid information of editors"
:::**"The article ridicules Conservapedia for providing only one side of controversial content, ironically failing to recognise many balanced points of view commonplace in the encyclopedia."
:::**"An entry on the "Pacific Northwest Arboreal Octopus" has received particular attention, a page created by a liberal troll."
:::**"The Conservapedia project has come under significant criticism by the radicalised and liberally biased mainstream media for perceived factual inaccuracies"
:::**"after deliberate attempts by radicalised trolls to install liberal deceit."
:::There are more edits by this CP sysop that try to enforce some of the phrases I cited (and some others). Tell me, Ed, is this anything more than unsourced POV and bias, pushed by a Conservapedia sysop with an obvious COI? Does Conservapedia encourage its sysops to vandalize Wikipedia and to whitewash its own article? Will there be any sort of accountability? Andy explicitly ignored that point, how about you?
:::I stand by what I said, and exactly by what I said. What you or Andy try to put into my mouth is none of my business. If you feel like blocking me for that post, go ahead. But I feel you hurt me enough by slapping me around with your pretty little speech about ideological attacks and how liberals and Democrats attack without providing examples. But of course, that was anything but an attack or whatever. Here, just do it. I'll stand still. An hour? A day? A month? Or hey, maybe a permanent one! After all, Conservapedia has so many active editors left, it can easily afford to permanently block a guy who created, like, THIRTY or so most wanted pages within ten days. And oh, another block will do WONDERS for my motivation to help! Yes, all in the name of justice for my bad, bad attack. <small>Do I sound bitter? ...can you be blocked for that?</small> --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 08:29, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
: Your first paragraph, even if true, would not be a defense for [[Wikipedia]], so it is irrelevant and I'll ignore it.
